Ever since I dressed to the teeth for two Lady Gaga concerts last year, I feel kind of naked going to musical events in my everyday jeans and black t-shirt. At a recent Kanye West/Jay-Z concert, Kanye totally outdressed me by wearing a leather skirt over pants, so I was happy to see that Kid [...]

Most of the clothing in this picture predates the blog, which I started in 2007. The dates below are my best guesses as to when I purchased everything. What Wendy Wore Sweater: [...]

Since 2008 — and inspired by a gold sequin Antik Batik dress — I’ve wanted to organize a terrifying gang called the Golden Girls. Membership would require the wearing of gold sequins, the ability to strike the WendyB pose and maybe a violent initiation ceremony just to keep things lively.

My gorgeous friend Tina the Occasional Cook had a Solid Gold-themed birthday party last night. Actually, as I’m writing this, she’s still having the party. I left just minutes ago while an enthusiastic karaoke rendition of Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a Prayer” was still in progress. You know that song: The perfect outfit for a [...]

Back in July, gorgeous blogger Sal of Already Pretty wrote about the hazards of wearing team colors when you’re not a fan of the team. She said: “If you’re not a sports fan – and I’m not – it’s a challenge to wear this shade of yellow with anything in the purple/red family in Minnesota [...]
